I saw on Facebook that the local hospital was offering a quit smoking course for free and for attending you got a DVD set that retails for $350 on amazon. I been wanting to quit for years but I hate to admit I decided to attend so I could flip the DVD set. That's how my junk man mind works.

However, after attending my mind was blown about how serious tobacco addiction is! 3,000 people a day die from tobacco. How horrible is that? An interesting thing is that nicotine does not kill you. Nancy said you could nicotine every day for your whole life and it wouldn't kill you. It's the tar and chemicals in tobacco that give you cancer and all of the terrible diseases.

I found out that before the late 60's, Marlboro was an unpopular cigarette. Then they figured out that if they put ammonia in the cigs it would freebase a persons brain so they get a massive hit of nicotine and suddenly their sales skyrocketed!

The class had many great tips on how to quit. I already switched to additive free tobacco and have cut back. I have more knowledge about how to quit and feel my chances of quitting are higher because I took this class.
